Parking and accommodation at Gatwick

Please note that in past seasons we heard from two sets of guests who booked a meet and greet service online and then either couldn't get hold of the company to drop off their car (and had to pay £104 to park in the Gatwick long-term car park) or couldn't contact them to collect their car at the end of their holiday (and finally got the car back on Tuesday rather than Sunday). If a deal online looks too good to be true, it probably is! The companies mentioned below have all been tested by our own staff.

There is a huge choice of car parks and hotels at Gatwick airport,
and a huge choice of booking websites offering you the ‘best rates in
the business’. We list four sensible
options here, each one providing a specific service which we have
described. We welcome your
feedback on any of the companies described so that we can keep this
information as up-to-date as possible.

COPHALL PARKING GATWICK

Cophall Parking is
a friendly, family-run, off-airport shuttle parking and Meet & Greet service,
operating at Gatwick Airport only. Established for almost 30 years, they offer
parking at Gatwick from only £35 per week, with an exceptionally high
customer service level. In view of
the security note above, they also hold a 'Park Mark' security award, the

a week, with staff always on site and the compound is barrier controlled with
CCTV cameras and patrolled, so your car is safe while you are away. They are
located at Copthorne, approximately 10 minutes from the airport terminals, and they
operate to request. On arrival you
